The Day Wall Street Exploded: A Story of America in Its First Age of Terror by Beverly Gage

4.0

Loved it. This is an America simultaneously alien, with labor organizers calling for dynamite and titans of wall street so powerful as to dwarf all governmental powers, state and federal, and familiar, with a city besieged by both the fear and reality of terrorism. Characters large and small. A fairly incisive analysis of the nature of America's relationship with her radicals. It can border on dry for "fun time" reading - this isn't, say, "Devil In The White City" - but there's a detective story here that I found legitimately enthralling.

Of course, the important question is not who did it, but how America would deal with it - literally watch much of our modern political climate being born in front of your eyes. Cool stuff.
